THE ONE CODE TO RULE THEM ALL

In April 2020, there was an unprecedented disruption to the ICD-10 code update schedule. Until that point, the only code available for reporting flu-like symptoms was B97.29.¹ It is defined as “coronavirus as the cause of disease classified elsewhere.” It was important to track Covid; so important that they stopped the presses to add U07.1, the diagnosis code for Covid-19.²

The pandemic officially started in March 2020, but the Cult was telling its staff that a pandemic was coming in November 2019. The diagnosis code update for Covid-19 came less than a month after the official pandemic announcement. There is a steering committee within Medicare (CMS) that meets periodically to discuss coding updates.³ No final decisions get made at those meetings, according to their own notes. Before Covid, the process of adding or changing codes was painfully slow, sometimes taking up to five years before a requested code would be implemented. The committee had never made a code change that fast before.

Before the update, insurance companies officially advised providers to bill fraudulent claims to qualify for Covid incentive payments. The coding update resolved the problem and made it legit. Hospitals were hard up for money at the time. They were indirectly bribed to use the new U07.1 code to get the higher Covid payment.⁴

Covid was a virus identifier code. Virus identifiers are not allowed as a primary diagnosis.⁵ To qualify for the incentive payments, U07.1 had to be listed as a primary diagnosis. The intention to exploit the code was clear to me from the beginning.

The effect of listing Covid-19 first changed the reporting of many respiratory conditions. Everything that would have been listed as pneumonia, upper respiratory infections, asthma, COPD, and bronchitis, were all labeled as Covid per the policy. It essentially reclassified all of those conditions as Covid, which ensured there would be plenty of opportunities for incentive payments. It was the same game as reclassifying polio as other neurological diseases after the polio vaccine was distributed to make it appear the disease had disappeared, only in reverse.

COVID DIAGNOSIS IS EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZED

If Covid was a virus, it appeared to be in the wrong chapter. Sure, the CDC and the AMA would tell you U07.1 is the diagnosis code for the disease known as Covid. It was originally listed in Chapter 1, the virus and bacteria chapter. Codes in Chapter 1 start with an A or a B. Why did the code for Covid start with a U? That would indicate it should be in a different chapter with other codes that start with U. Except in April 2020, there was no chapter for U codes.⁶

This detail was overlooked at the time because of the panic and chaos of the pandemic. The speed of the update caught coding advisors unprepared. Lacking a better option, it forced them to regurgitate advice from regulatory health officials without analyzing it first.
